Grimeca hub?

[helicopterjim]

I acquired some old parts a while ago and finally got around to sorting it all out.

I have this wheel which seems to be a Grimeca but it is mated to a 19" Akront rim. I also have the speedo drive plate but no brake parts.

If someone could identify this wheel then I would put it up for sale. If the hub is Laverda suitable then I could despoke it and sell hub and speedo drive plate only.

Thank you
Jim

Well how about that.
Thank you.

Sounds like a good reason to despoke it and mate it to a 18 inch rim

I can do that and have it in the mail in a couple of weeks. What's your address?

I can put it in a press and flatten it into a disc.

Jim, what's the condition of the braking surface?

I will get a clear photo for you tomorrow but it is in fair shape as I recall. Not really smooth but no big gouges.

Overall it is pretty good. One shallow gouge going all the way around and a bit of surface rust but I gave it a light buff with some scotchbrite and looks like it will come off pretty easy.
The rim is in very good shape and so are the spokes. Not one scratch or gouge from tire changes and still has original Akront sticker.
